so long 2008

Hi! It's been some time since we posted anything on the blog. Anyone still look here? Anyway, Oliver has been doing lots of new and exciting things. He has a big vocabulary -- almost certainly over 200 words and adding new ones all the time -- and says three word sentences. He knows all his colors, recognizes almost all letters, can count (but routinely omits #5 ), can jump and gallop, and can "fly like a bird," which is hilarious. He's had his first haircut and his first snowy walk. He enjoys going to the zoo and aquarium as often as possible. He also loves reading books and coloring with crayons or markers. He likes the childcare center he goes to. His teachers think he's talented and he loves them. He's got tons of energy (much more than we do!) and he's a very good eater. It's been a great year!

To see a fun video of Oliver's first gingerbread house, click here. (I couldn't figure out how to post the video here for some reason, and when I just clicked on that, there was no sound. Too bad. At the end he says "circles!" about the lifesaver wreaths.)

I still look here! He's so big! And looks like Oliver and Perry are doing more munching than building in the video. :) Yay circles!

Me too! I heard sound on the video, no problem. Thanks for posting this. It's great to see him growing and changing. He's bound to keep growing on that gingerbread house diet!

You know, the lack of #5 is interesting--my nephew seems to also omit 5. We're working with him on that.
